Buy Experiences Not Stuff

Happiness-comes-for-experiences-not-material-things

I don’t hide the fact that I find the “throwaway” culture of North America totally disgusting.  Yeah, we’re a society of buy all we can, and toss out anything that isn’t the latest and greatest.

We’re consumed by stuff, and by having more of it.  You just have to look at the increasing number of self storage yards to know that people are accumulating more and more possessions every day.  Insanity.

But there is sort of a new trend happening where some people are moving towards buying experiences instead of spending their money on stuff.

Buy experiences not stuff

Going away on a vacation with your family costs a significant amount of money, and when you get back home you don’t have anything physical to show for it.  But that experience, those memories, and the magic is absolutely priceless.  Same thing goes for taking in that concert you’ve always wanted to see, or the sports game you’re so passionate about.  Imagine the memories you’d collect by taking in the Tour de France.

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but that stuff you’re collecting doesn’t always fulfil your life or make you feel satisfied.  Right?  Remember that post I did based on the lyrics from the Zac Brown Band?

“I’ve got everything I need, and nothing that I don’t”

So what do you think?  Will you spend your hard earned money on collecting more stuff, or will you invest it into an experience of a lifetime?

    Hey Darryl

    Great post. I couldn’t agree more. It’s takes a mind set change to get on board with your philosophy. If it was easy … Best guido

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
